A Tiny Fall Wreath To Beautify Your Door
Hi All – I thought I’d try my hand at a tiny fall wreath for the next installment of “There’s No Place Like Home” Autumn Blog Hop!
Rachelle at My Hubbard Home is graciously hosting once again, and our theme this week is Wreath & Door Decor.
If you’re coming over from the very talented Chloe at Celebrate and Decorate, Welcome! And if you’re coming from anywhere else, Welcome too!
Be sure to check out all the great door decor ideas in this hop. The link to the next stop will be at the end of the post, so be sure to scroll all the way down.
A Tiny Fall Wreath For a Tiny Cellar Door
We have a tiny outside door to our cellar, that’s always been neglected. I’m not exactly sure how it ended up so oddly small. But there’s a lot we don’t know about this old house!
My husband has repaired and redone it several times. So at least we can keep most of the wind and rain out now!
So when I decided to make a fall wreath, I thought I’d make a special tiny one for that door. Just to make it feel included – you know.
An Embroidery Hoop for the Round Part
I used to embroider a lot, and it seemed like I always did more of it in the fall. Cooler weather had me inside by the fire more – the perfect place to do needlework.
So anything embroidery always makes me think of fall. Perfect, then, for the base to a fall wreath. A tiny one.
The screw makes an interesting inclusion as well.
Fresh Flowers for the Tiny Fall Wreath
I have to admit, I love fresh flowers but they’re only good for a little while out of water. I gave these grocery store blooms some fresh cuts and a good soak before I put them in the wreath.
Spraying them lightly with water might keep them fresher longer too. Just be careful you don’t spray while it’s hanging on something you want to keep dry! (Not that I’ve ever done that, but if I had, I would warn you against it!)
My lovely neighbors ended up with this tiny fall wreath, and the blooms were still holding up wonderfully after several hours. I don’t know how long they lasted in the end.
If you make one of these yourself, you’ll probably want to use faux flowers so it’ll last.
Aren’t they pretty though?
I’m really having a love affair with peachy orange and pink this fall. See this post for more of that.
Seeded Eucalyptus
And I also love seeded eucalyptus. It’s so pretty, and it adds so much to any arrangement.
On this fall wreath, it creates movement and helps kind of outline the hoop.
Brown Satin Ribbon
I don’t know about you, but I always love a pretty satin ribbon. I think this one originally came from a box of chocolates! All the more reason for me to love it!
Gratuitous Photos of the Tiny Fall Wreath, and Tiny Door Too!
That’s really about all I have to say about the tiny fall wreath. It was so super simple to make. Here’s the ridiculously easy tutorial.
In the meantime, here are a few more photos that have nothing to do with anything. Except to look pretty and let you see it from other angles!

What a pretty wreath! I am loving embroidery hoop wreaths lately!
Thanks so much Danielle! I didn’t even realize they were a thing until I couldn’t find any other hoop for my wreath! And now that I’ve seen so many other ways to do them, I think I’ll stick with them for next time! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by – Happy Tuesday!
Barbara,
What a lovely wreath for the door. Congratulations, You are being featured at Thursday Favorite Things. I hope you stop by. https://www.eclecticredbarn.com/2020/10/thursday-favorite-things.html
Hugs,
Bev
Oh Bev – what a sweetheart! Thank you so much! I will definitely stop by – I love it over there! 🙂 I’m so glad you like the wreath! Thanks again and see you tomorrow!
Barbara, after seeing this on IG, this is SO different and makes so much more of a statement when you see it hanging on the whole door. I love the juxtaposition of the delicate tiny wreath on the large natural wood door! I may be getting to the party late here, but so enjoyed seeing this! HUGS! Chloe
Hi! I’m so glad you like it real-sized! Thought it was time the cellar door got some love! 🙂 Hope you have a great week – see you online soon!
Barbara your tiny wreath is so lovely. I love the pink and orange mix of flowers and seeded eucalyptus is the perfect finishing touch! I will be watching for your tutorial. Wishing you a lovely autumn week!
Thanks so much Pam – you too! SO simple tutorial coming up this week! 🙂
Brilliant idea for a wreath and those colors are awesome for Fall! I’d love for you to share over at our weekly Wednesday Creative Crafts Linky Party
https://creativelybeth.com/creative-crafts-linky-party-9-join-in-the-fun/
Have a great week!
Creatively, Beth
Hi Beth – thanks so much, and thanks for the invite! I’ll definitely stop over to your link party – I bet there’s all kinds of creative fun going on! 🙂 I’m so glad you visited – hope you have a great week too!
No kidding. This is the absolute cutest wreath I’ve ever seen. I am going to have to make this… I have some roses, but not real.. I’m not brave enough for that. Lol I Sharing, pinning. Wonderful. Best wishes for a lovely Fall, and Linda @ crafts a La mode
Oh Linda – you’re so sweet! Thank you so much! Not-real roses would probably be better anyway, then it’ll last longer! 🙂 Be sure to share yours when you make it – I can’t wait to see! Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Saturday!
This fall wreath is absolutely darling! I love how simply yet gorgeous it is! And that the colors are a subtle hint towards fall rather than the in-your-face bright oranges of typical fall decor!

Hi Elena – I’m so happy you like it! I just popped over to your blog quickly and it’s beautiful!! I can’t wait to go back over and spend some time – we definitely have a lot in common! Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
What a cute wreath friend and look at all the amazing wreaths from everyone. Such diversity – love it. Thanks for sharing.
I know – it’s it great how everybody has their own style?! So cool that Rachelle put this hop together so we can see them all! I’m always happy when you stop by! 🙂 I’ll be popping over to your blog soon!
Such an adorable wreath and I love the raw wood on your cellar door too!
So glad you like it Denise! And my husband would be happy that you like the wood – he’s been wrestling with that door for years! 🙂 Take care over there!
I love your little door’s raw wood and the tiny wreath that you created for it looks gorgeous hanging on it. I have multiple embroidery hoops of varying sizes. I’ve never thought to make a mini wreath with one of them. Thanks for the idea!
Hi Paula – Thanks so much! Amazing what solutions come to mind when there aren’t any wreath hoops around! 🙂 So glad you stopped by – it’s great hopping with you!
I love this simple diminutive wreath, Barbara! When I first saw it, I thought of how perfect this would be for a bridal shower. The seeded eucalyptus is the perfect complement .Pinned! The little door is intriguing!
Hi Debra! Yes, I thought bridal shower too – in the bride’s colors, of course! That’s a good word for the door!) :)Thanks so much for pinning and stopping by!
Lovely! I can almost smell its lovely fresh scent from here in Pittsburgh. Never heard of seeded eucalyptus before — so pretty! When we were in Peru the wonderful scent of eucalyptus, which grows everywhere, was every present. Came home and had to go buy some, I missed the scent so much.
Hi Debbee! I love that eucalyptus scent! The seeded type doesn’t have a very strong one at all, but it’s so graceful in arrangements. Wow – a trip to Peru must have been wonderful! Thanks so much for stopping over! 🙂
What a beautiful wreath with such a pretty color combination! So nice to hop with you again!
Shelley
Hi Shelley! I’m sorry – I didn’t mean to ignore you – I didn’t see your comment for some reason! But thank you! 🙂 So nice hopping with you too!
Barbara I’m trying to pin your picture but can’t see where to do that?
Huh. Are you on a phone? If you’re on a desk device, you just hover in the top left corner and click the PIN button that appears. But I don’t know about mobile. I’ll do a little research and report back. Thanks for mentioning it!
Hi again – Apparently if you’re on a phone, you need the Pinterest app.
If you’re on a non-mobile device, here’s a link to a Pinterest article about how to fix it. https://help.pinterest.com/en/article/trouble-with-pinterest-browser-button
Good luck – I hope it works!
Barbara, I’m having a pink fall moment as well!
Your pink, soft peach and satin brown ribbon are so pretty and work well together.
That cellar door is cute. Love old homes especially one with cellars. What a wonderful home you live in.
Thanks for sharing your hoop wreath for this hop!
RR
Hi Rachelle! Don’t know how I missed your sweet comment, but thank you! I love your pink fall moments too! Thanks so much for hosting this great Autumn Blog Hop!! 🙂
Barbara I love the color combination of your flowers and I can see why you are so smitten. The dark ribbon is very elegant and adds the perfect accent for fall. Pinning!
Thanks Michelle! Isn’t that peach/orange and pink so fun!? So happy to be hopping with you again this week! Appreciate the pin too! 🙂 See you out and about!
This is beautiful Barbara, simple yet elegant, delicate and pretty all at the same time! It would be perfect for a girls gathering too! Your little door is intriguing, and it is loving it’s new decoration 🙂
Hi Jenna – thanks so much! I think our funny little door enjoyed its 15 minutes of fame! 🙂 I like the girls gathering idea – they’d be great party favors afterwards too! So nice hopping with you! Happy Wednesday!
